GEORGE ROBINS is empowered to Treat, and on exceedingly eligible terms, for a Lease of THE CALVERLEY HOTEL, in CALVERLEY PARK. This splendid Hotel is of the first class, and it is not too much to add, that it is not surpassed by any rival Establishment throughout England. The situation has been wisely selected. It is on an eminence, and the Hotel and Te rrace - wa lk comman d extens i ve and very beautiful views of the adjacent lovely country, adorned by Woodland Scenery of surpassing beauty. It is within A PARK OF TWENTY ACRES, a short distance from the Church, and near the centre of Ton bridge Wells. The Pleasure Grounds are laid out with infinite taste. It may be well to observe that Calverley House, previously to its being reconstructed and formed into the present Illagnificent Hotel, was for several seasons selected by "HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN" and the Duchess of Kent, as their much admired abode. The si tuation, therefore, is no longer equivocal. The next (and a very important point it is) is to demonstrate its great value for its in tended purpose--fortunately but little is necessary to be said ; the numberless persons from the great metropolis who seek .health or recreation, cannot any where, at so easy a distance, meet with a more salubrious air, or more lovely scenery than at Tonbridge Wells, and when the Calverley Hotel, midway between London, Hastings, St. Leonard's, Eastbourne, sic., and only 30 miles from Brighton, shall present its splendid and economical welcome to visitors, the more reasonable apprehension seems to be, that its ample accommodation will still be insufficient. It is not intended to carry into detail its manifold qualifications, but confine this an nouncement to a few only of the most prominent points. There are altontherV,Bed Chambers, more than 20 Tavern or Sitting- Rooms, an elegant and spacious Coffee-room ; with ample Coach houses and Stabling. The Building presents a most imposing front. The architecture is in the best taste of Mr. Decimus Burton, and the arrangement throughout so perfect as to leave nothing more to be desired. To conclude, it may be suggested that if civi lity and moderate charges be appended as the motto to adorn the entrance-hall, it is quite manifest that a certain and very speedy fortune will reward the labours of any enterprizing The following will demonstrate the fact that the rent is very inadequate to its annual value, viz. : lit year 200 k a year. 2d do. 3d do. 6OO/. do. 4th do.

NEWINGTON-BUTTS. - - RECTORIAL TlTHES.—Alderlev, the hitherto peaceful community has lately been plunged into that bitterest of all strife contention with the Church. It pleased the Crown to call the late Rector, Dr. Stanley, from his pastoral charge in this parish, to be the diocesan of the see of Nor wich ; and it further pleased Sir John Stanley, in whom the presentation of Alderley is vested, to appoint in his stead the Rev. Charles Girdlestone, a Clergyman of considerable at tainments, and whe, in the cap ac ity of tutor to the eldest son of Sir J. Stanley, had earned the good opinion of the family as a pious godly minister ; and no doubt existed that he would worthily fulfil th e duties of his charge, and emulate the zeal , piety, humility, and p eace f u l b ear i ng o f his venerated prede cessor. But a l es I all is become distur b e d , an d str if e now reigneth wher e peace and good-will before on l y d we l t. Th e fruitful source of all this may well be imagined. It is the tithe.—Cheshire Chronicle. HOW TO O BTAIN A S UIT OF C LOTHES .—On Sunday evening, a vagr an t w h o re f use s to give his name, went to the house of M r. N icholson who is one of the overseers o f Chelmsford, an d not finding him at home, broke eight panes of glass with a bl udgeon he had in his hand, the repairing of which will c ost upwards of twenty shillings. G oo d en , t h e constable, wh o was passing, took the man into custody and placed him i n t h e cage. Since he has been conf i ne d , t h e fel low has am use d hi mself by pulling his clothes, w hi c h b e f ore were but r ags , i nto small pieces, under the impress i on, t h at h e must be furnished with a new suit before he can appear in the presence of a Magistrate.—Essex Herald. (Abridged from the Manchester Times.) On Tuesday evening a splendid entertainment was given to Joseph Brotherton, Esq., by the Broughton district of voters for the borough of Salford, at the house of Mr. Watson, the Griffin Inn, Broughton, when about 120 gen tl emen sa t down in the el egant and spaciou s dining-room overlooking the Bow ling-green to an ample dessert, which the Stewards had thought preferable to a dinner; and we are sure no one pre sent could regret that the choice had been left to their discre tion. The chair was taken and its duties efficiently and ably discharged by Andrew Hall, Esq. About half-past seven o'clock Mr. Brotherton entered the room amidst loud bursts of applause, and took his seat on the Chairman's right. Mr. Bird and Mr. Harrison ably discharged the duties of Vice- Presidents. Among the company we observed Mr. William Collier, Mr. Harvey, Mr. George Langworthy, Mr. James Rushton, Mr. Ormerod, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. J. E. Taylor, Mr. W. Lockett, Mr. Edw. Ede, &c. After the toasts of " The Queen," " The Duchess of Kent," " the Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family in England," The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " Joseph Brother ton, Esq.," eulogized his conduct as a tried reformer, and one standing at the very head of the House of Commons for assi duity and industry—always at his post, and not only never dosing at it, but taking care that others did not remain there till a dosing time. • Mr. BROTHERTON, in a long and able address, entered into an explanation of his political sentiments, and of his Parlia mentary conduct during the last session; but, as a great por tion of his speech was much to the same effect as those we have already given at former dinners, it will be unnecessary to re port it here at length. He was one of those who looked for practical results from the Reform Bill. He had no idea of looking to it as 4. a Bill and nothing but,a Bill"—(Hear and laughter)—he wished to see the kernel, and not merely the shell--he wished to see the wheat, and not merely the bran— (but the Tories, on a late occasion, would not allow foreign wheat in bond to be ground for export, for fear the people should get the bran). Much good might be expected also from an equalization of taxes. The taxation of this country he did not believe to be just. The Aristocracy, in making laws, had looked only to their own interest, and thrown the burthen of them upon the common classes and the labour of the country.--( Hear, hear.) In speaking of the Corn-laws, Mr. Brotherton said the Tories never vote in the House of Parlia ment for economy, because they knew they had taxed the people to the tune of twenty millions a-year for their exclu sive benefit, and they voted therefore for keeping on those taxes. But only let the people equalize the taxes by the re removal of such duties as that on corn, and then the Tory Aristocracy and landowners would find it to be as much their interest to study economy as it was the interest of any other party.--(Great applause. ) The next toast was " National Education." Mr. EDWARD SHAWCROSS said—lf we looked around us at the mass of wealth which existed in this part of the coun try—if we looked to the hives of industry with which we were surrounded, with their population of active and industrious labourers, we might be inclined to think, on a superficial glance, that they possessed everything requisite for the hap piness of such a community; but if we looked deeper, if we cast our eyes below the surface, we should find them labour ing under a mass of evils and suffering of which, from a su perficial glance, we could have formed no conception. And whence was it, ;.hat while there was so much apparent pros perity, there was in reality so much of vice and wretchedness. He thought that if we looked well to the cause we should agree with him that it arose in a great measure from the absence of education.-_.( Hear.) If then we were agreed that the ab sence of education was productive of evils so great as to endanger the well-being of society—and particularly in times of distress—ought we not to turn our attention to overturn the evil and provide against its recurrence ? In this neighbourhood, he was glad to say, that much had been done by individual exertion in the way of education for the poor; and, if we looked to the extent of Sunday-school education—an extent which at the display made here on the celebration of her Majesty's Coronation must have struck every one with delight—we might be inclined to think, on a first consideration, that very little more was necessary. But a Sunday-school education was at best but a very imperfect one, and by no means answered the end to which it was desirable to attain. But while individual efforts had done so much, he was sorry that the influence and efforts of Government had done very little.—(Hear.) Mr. Shaw cross alluded to the system of education introduced into Ireland, and sat down amidst general applause. " Ph, I 1c..-144,4-4.60--115eml,e, given, and received with cheers. The next toast was, " Purity of Election."-_( Cheers.) Mr. J. E. TAYLOR was not aware of any peculiar reason for calling upon him to respond to this toast; but he could say that if a deep and anxious sense of the importance of purity of election—which had pervaded his mind ever since arriving at years of discretion—could give him any claim to reply to the toast, the call had not been misplaced.—( Hear.) He believed that among those who were enemies to Reform—. and such men there were—he believed there were no classes to which such men looked with so much anxiety and appre hension as those to whom the elective franchise was entrusted in Manchester and the surrounding boroughs.—(Hear, hear.) But he thought we might safely say, there was no classes that had more creditably discharged the trust reposed in them than the elective bodies of those towns.__( Cheers.) He was sure that nothing had more surprised and caused him greater anxiety than that in Salford, where he thought we were safe, our friend Mr. Brotherton should have been returned only by a majority of one. He thought—and he was sure we should be borne out by those who witnessed it—that such a return could not have been upon the principle of purity of election. If he might mention one fact as tending to that conviction, he would recall to their recollection the significant phrase of " Garnett and Gin," which at that time was so popular as almost to be an household word.—( Laughter.) He regretted that their representative should have been returned by such a slender majority, but he would rather that at the next election he should lose his seat, titan that the cry should be changed from " Garnett and Gin" to " Brotherton and Gin."—(Loud cheers.) He thought that nothing perhaps would do more to destroy this system than national education, alluded to by Mr. Shawcross, inasmuch as it might tend to create that respect for the elective franchise which it appeared to him every one possessing it should show. Till then he was doubtful of the propriety of extending the elective franchise. The CHAIRMAN said he had next to call attention to a most important subject, alluded to in the speech of their excellent representative, and which was beginning now to attract very general attention. He would give, " The Repeal of the Corn-laws." Mr. PRENTICE was called upon to respond, and was re ceived with hearty cheering. Before he said anything in reply to the toast, he would advert to one or two subjects which had already come before the meeting. He agreed with Mr. Shaw cross upon the importance of national education, but he would warn the people of England that when they pursued this course they should look to the example of Scotland, where there was a parochial system, much vaunted of, but far beyond its merits, because there the national schools had been placed under the Established Church.—( Hear, hear.) With regard to the other toast, he rejoiced at the example set by the elec tors of Salford at the first election, and was exceedingly sorry to see, at the last election, the purity of the electors so much diminished, that the return of Mr. Brotherton was effected by a majority of only one.—(A cry of " Two.") He had no toleration at all for the man who would sell his suffrage for the privilege of being allowed to put his nose into a dirty pot of porter ; but he had commiseration for the man who, to preserve his family from starvation, was intimidated to vote against his conscience—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear") —and he thought that, in a meeting of this kind, they ought not to pass over the only remedy for that gross intimidation and bribery which was practised to so great an extent in Sal ford—the Vote by Ballot.—(Loud and reit erate d C h eers.) With regard to the Corn-laws, he thought the question lay in a very little compass. One man on one side of the river was possessed of clothing but had no bread, and a man on the other side was in possession of broad but had no clothing. Nature and common sense said " exchange," and he who had bread only and he who had clothing only would have both. __(Cheers.) This was the simple and common-sense view of the question, and we might talk till doomsday and make no more of it. The principle was the same between indivi duals as nations. Nations ought to exchange, and each would be benefitted by the exchange.. _(Cheers.) He was astonished that, situated as we were in this respect, the people of Man chester and Salford had not before this risen up constitution ally, but determinedly, to oppose the continuance of the Corn-laws. They could not but see the spirit of manufac turing enterprise created by it in other countries. The United States were now supplying the article called " domes tics" to South America to the exclusion of our sheetings and calicos, and the Saxons had not only driven the Nottingham manufacturers from the whole continent of America, but were actually competing with them in England, hundreds of thousands of their stockings and gloves being imported into this country annually. We ought net to close our eyes to these facts. First other countries began to weave with our yarns ; then they began to spin for themselves with our machinery; and then they began to make machinery for themselves. Look at Liege, Bruges, Antwerp, Vienna, where great machine manufactories were at full work. Look even at Ber lin where lately they were making ornaments for ladies' necks and ears, and were now manufacturing powerful machinery without the aid of England.---( Hear, hear.) Under the pre sent system, we should see ourselves shut out from all the foreign markets, and if we remained in supineness we should deserve it. It was not knowledge we now wanted—it was action.-_< Cheers.) Now was the time for agitation. Never was there a more favourable opportunity than the present to overthrow these laws. The farmer, although for a time deluded by the cry of the landlord, was beginning to think, that these could not be good laws for him which kept , up 'I I WI ion's, and then On a failure of his crops peered ii foreign corn to depreciate the price of his produce t in the _ market.--( Hear, hear.) On a late journey th ro ugh Norfolk 111 .-- Malivir.....ti.... - ri C. ltit,ii 28s. 14s. 17s. 20s. 20s. and Suffolk the agriculturists seemed sensible of this, and ha was in conversation with some who said, " Let the Legisla ture leave us alone—we do not want legislative interference, it is simply a question of price ; if we have low prices we shall have low rents, and therefore we consider that the corn laws were not enacted for our benefit, but for men who con sider that other men should pay their taxes."--(Hear, hear. ) There was another point in which the question might be viewed. The Corn-laws were in fact an inducement to bad farming. In the Lothians, Berwickshire, Northumberland, the eastern parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, it would be found that a rotation of white and green crops was the moat profitable to the farmer. In other por tions of the country more white crops were grown upon the land than it would bear, having the effect of impoverishing the land and ultimately diminishing the corn brought into the corn market. Let the Corn-laws be removed and we should have good farming; for it would be found that good stock ing with cattle, and the rotation of green crops would cause the land to produce more corn than it does now, ex hausted as it is by the false stimulus given to the growth of white crops. But suppose less corn were grown, would the landlords be impoverished ? Were the Cheshire landlords impoverished by having their fields in grass ?—(Hear, hear.) They grew no corn, and what good did Corn-laws do them? The monopolists asked how should we exist if a combination of all the nations of the earth was to be formed to keep corn from us? These landlords, after loading us for seventy years with taxes, had all at once become so exceedingly and feelingly alive to our interests that they could not allow us to incur the risk of being starved by being dependent upon other nations for corn.—( Laughter.) But they were not afraid of our being dependent upon America for cotton.—(Hear, hear.) And yet the imports of cotton were to a much greater amount than the imports of corn would be. It was strange they had no fear of this kind—only that they did not grow cotton.— ( Laughter.) Now we get plenty of tobacco—he contrived to get his pinch of snuff, and others their cigars, and the poor man his pipe of tobacco—and he dared say he should get them if all the nations of the world were to combine to prevent it. —( Hear, hear.) But so far were our wise rulers from being afraid that we should be dependent upon other countries for our snuff and cigars, that they resolved that the Irish people should not grow tobacco.—( Hear, hear.) What was wanted now, he would repeat, was not so much knowledge as action. We had stood long with our arms folded looking on, while every where the masses are starving for want of bread. Are we to remain in ignorance, or indifference when ignorance is removed—when by one great exertion we might throw off the shackles that bind us ?—( Cheers.) All we want is union. The landowners have their unions ; they have their Farmer's Society—for every agricultural society is one under the di rection of the landlord. Why should we not form similar societies ?—( Cheers.) He was glad to say that they had de termined at a meeting at the York Hotel, Manchester, to form an Anti-Corn-law Association for Manchester and its neighbourhood, and he hoped there was not a gentleman pre sent who would not join it and give his hearty and unremitting exertions for the repeal of the laws framed by cupidity and ig norance. and more than any others injurious to the best in terests of the country, and more especially injurious and ruin ous to this great manufacturing district.—( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave " Free Trade," to which Mr. HOPKINS responded in an argumentative address, re marking, however, that the previous observations had to a great degree exhausted the subject. The other toasts of the evening were—" Richard Potter, Esq., M. P. for Wigan"—" The President," and " The Vice- Presidents ;" after which the chair was vacated, and the greater portion of the meeting separated. HOSTILITIES BETWEEN FRANCE AND MEXICO. By the documents here subjoined it will be seen that hosti lities have commenced in the Mexican republic between the French forces and the Mexican troops stationed at Tuxpsm " Division of the Mexican Army of Operations. " At three in the evening of the 11th I received information that a national vessel, being pursued by a French boat, had run . aground on the coast, and that the Mexican crew had fled and got on shore. I immediately werLt down to the shore, having [ left orders that the free corps should follow me ; but on my . arrival, finding that the vessel was stranded at the distance of more than two leagues off, and that the French had re-embarked in the boat of the galliot, because their own. • boat had gone to pieces, it appeared to me sufficient to make arrangements for the prompt discharge of the cargo, , and that a small picquet should be sent to protect the un loading. A ccor di ng l y th i s was done at eight that night ; Sub-Lieutenant Don Pedro Echarco having then marched to that point with twenty infantry and as many port-labourers as could at the moment be collected. Previously a sub-lieu tenant and ten volunteers had been sent out for the protection of the cargo, but they returned on the arrival of Echarco. " At six o'clock next morning I received a despatch, in forming me that nothing had occurred, and that the blockading v e sse l s were no l onger i n s i g ht. O n this notice, considering that nothing further required my presence, I returned here. But, as the enemy's ves sels, which had been for a while concealed by the cloudy state of the atmosphere, re-appeared, one boat advancing to within 180 yards of shore, the brigantine within 290, and a launch, with three armed boats, within less than half-musket-shot, our troops immedi ately prepared to oppose the contemplated landing, and un th, nu-Hun/It btautlAL U. Ni- 7 4.:)., y gantine fired on them, and the shot raised up the sand, which covered the persons hoisting the flag. The other vessels also opened a fire of musketry on our troops, which was imme diately returned, notwithstanding the enemy had artillery in play. The enemy's fire was kept up three hours without ceas ing ; but our soldiers economised their ammunition. Fortu nately our troops sustained no loss, but we learn that the enemy had an officer and five men killed in their armed boats, because they were seen to fall, and it was afterwards ob served that their bodies were put on board the brigantine. It is prob a bl e t h at they sustained still greater loss, as they withdrew precipitately. Some of them appeared to be leak ing fast, and they dropped five of their oars, which we have picked up. " Thus ended this first essay of the French, in which, after a wasteful expenditure of their ammunition, they found it necessary to h eave up t h e anchor and make ' off. By way of stratagem I had placed the volunteers of the neighbouring villages, to the number of 400, in ambuscade near the shore, and I even ordered the twenty infantry who sustained the ene my's fire to make a false retreat, in order to draw the enemy into a trap ; but he doubtless had his suspicions, and thought it more prudent to carry off his killed, and give up his pro jects of a descent. " Though this affair cannot be regarded as important, it may, however, serve to make manifest to the world, the nature of the French aggressions, and at the same time to prove that there can be no doubt ofthe determination of the Mexicans not to submit to the unjust pretensions of their enemy ; it will also show how little impression their hostile demonstrations are likely to make on the Republic. " The French Admiral has evidently violated the law of na tions, since, without any previous declaration of war, he has fired on our troops, and has attempted a hostile landing on our coasts. Fearing that the facts may be misrepresented by the enemy (by whom we are almost always calumniated). I had the idea of ordering a formal verification to be drawn up ; but, as the event was so public, it can be at any time proved that we were not the aggressors, and it is proper to be cool in exposing such insults. -" I have the honour to make this communication to your Excellency, in order thot you may report the same to the President, and I repeat the assurance of my respect.

" Most Excellent Senor—The Commandant General of Tamaulipas writes to me as follows, under date of the 20th instant: " The national boat San .Luis, from Tabasco, with a cargo of cocoa, having stood in shore at Laguna Seca, twenty-six leagues to the north of this port, I wished to see whether sho would succeed in entering the river with the help of the launches, which had been employed during the night in un loading the Spanish galliot Reyna Regcnte, which arrived at the same point. The blockading ship, which had hitherto re mlined at anchor, making only insignificant demonstrations, did not show any indication of hostility until yesterday, when the enemy gave chase to the San Luis. The boat ran into Barra Ciega, five leagues hence, near Laguna Seca. She had scarcely opportunity to save her cargo, when the boats of the blockading ship came up with her, set her on fire, and rendered her completely useless. I hasten to acquaint your Excellency with this fresh aggression of the French naval force, that, on the same being communicated to the Presi dent, I may b.; instructed as to the means of averting, such attempts. I have the honour to communicate the above to your Excellency, &c. " God and Liberty ! " Mexico, July 25, 1838. "MORA N. " To his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs."

This fortunate animal, the Bay Middleton of that day, also won for his noble owner, the same season, in matches and sweepstakes, eight other races, making the sum, in hard cash, of 7,899 gui neas, and the Grocrenor Stakes arid Clermont Cup.
